Recording Operation
Recording is achieved by pressing the STOP / RECORD Key
on your
instruments keypad.
All settings/parameters from within SETUP in Real Time mode will be used or
logged when a recording is started.
It is not possible to reset any parameter, change range or adjust any settings
whilst recording.
Recording operation can be identified by having a duration value that flashes and
shows the total duration that the recording has been running.
Scrolling between the four instantaneous display parameter screens Arms, Aeq,
Amax or Pmax is achieved using the Left and Right Arrow Keys
. The
available parameters whilst recording are the same as in Real Time operation.
See Display Parameters under Real Time Operation for more information on
the display parameters.
By pressing the PAUSE Key
on the keypad it is possible to view a snapshot
of the data values at that point in time. Use the Left and Right Arrow Keys
to scroll between parameters. To revert back to instantaneous readings press
the PAUSE Key once again. This function is a visual aid only and does not pause
the duration time of the recording and all data values continue to be calculated
and recorded as normal.
Cumulative parameters that have been selected in SETUP are only available
when the recording has ended and as with Real Time mode the dominant axis is
identified by having the > character displayed next to it.
The Power On/Off Key
is disabled whilst Recording to prevent the
instrument from accidentally entering the Shut Down screen and possible data
loss.
Ending a Recording
To stop recording at any time, press the STOP / RECORD Key
on your
instruments keypad again and you will be taken to the Calculation Display
Screen.
